No matter what the Cavaliers experience, it is something that has always happened in this league. No matter which team, it will experience something like that. Giants like the Lakers and Celtics have all come up and down. Strong as a bull, after Michael Jordan retired, he fell to the throne without any suspense. There is no always strong team, and no always strong player.
Just when everyone felt sorry for the Cavaliers, the entire Oklahoma City was singing praises for their team. Since the team moved from Seattle to this city ten years ago, everyone has been waiting for this day.
Six years ago, the young Thunder set out from here under the leadership of the same young Sanshou, and they started their first championship fight. The Thunder that year was not much worse than it is now! At that time they had a strong lineup such as Durant, Westbrook, Harden, and Ibaka, and won the second place in the Western Conference in the regular season.
In the playoffs, they showed strong dominance. In the first round, facing the defending champion Mavericks, they went straight to four cities and swept each other directly. In the second round, facing the Lakers led by Kobe, they won with a strong 4-1. In the Western Conference Finals, facing the mighty Spurs, they finally ran into trouble. But in the case of 0:2 behind, they are united, a strong counterattack, after a wave of 4:0, advance to the finals.
Their opponent is the Heat with the Big Three. At the time, many people were optimistic about the Thunder. They think the younger Thunder can beat the Heat and win the championship. At that time, the entire Oklahoma fans cheered for their team and cheered for them as they do now.
But the result was disappointing. The promising Thunder eventually won only one game, and eventually lost to the Heat 1:4, failing to win the championship.
Bright future! This word couldn't be more appropriate for that Thunder! Everyone believes that the future of the alliance belongs to this group of young people. But for many years after that, the Thunder never stepped onto the stage of the Finals again. Some of the decisions made by the Thunder's management have made everyone incredible.
However, none of this caused these fans to lose their support and expectations for this team. They are still wearing blue T-shirts every night, standing to witness the Thunder score for the first time; they are still shouting the "OKC" slogan uniformly; they still applaud every Thunder player's performance; Still hopeful for every season.
Finally, God thought of Oklahoma again. They traded An Luo for a very small price, and they traded for Ibaka for Paul George. With the growth of Adams and Robertson, the Thunder once again have a championship lineup. And they, also this season, once again launched an impact on the championship.
This season, the Thunder fans are happy. The joy of victory always surrounds them. But those dozens of victories were far less exciting than these two finals. The feeling of reaping the clouds and seeing the moonlight is impossible to realize without the expectation of ten years. In addition to these fans, only Collison and Westbrook can experience this feeling in the entire Thunder team. As the only two players on this team from Seattle, they have participated in everything about the Thunder and have also witnessed the ups and downs of the Thunder over the years.
In the NBA business circle, it is not easy to stick to one thing for more than ten years. It's not easy to be able to endure a team. Loyalty to a team may not be valuable in this league, but what can be maintained is precious. Many people have left the place where their dreams started for more money, better chances of winning, and greater business development. Westbrook is the lucky one. In Oklahoma, if he hadn't met Anlow and Paul George, Westbrook might not have kept going. A championship is the dream of any player, especially when the player is still a regular season MVP, the attraction of the championship becomes even more deadly.
Fortunately, God is still attached to him.
For Anluo, the championship is also precious. The player who can win the championship in the second year of his career without reaching the age of 20 must be God's favorite. You know, there are countless players who have struggled for a lifetime in this league and eventually retire with regret. Among them are the superstars who have set off stormy waves in the league.
This is an extremely precious experience. An Luo never thought he would not win a championship. With his technical characteristics, any team aspiring to a championship can find a foothold. But the later he wins the championship, the faster he can grow up. What he wants to do is not just an excellent 3D player~EbookFREE.me~ Human desires will always change with everything they have. When An Luo was playing in that small court alone, what he wanted was to be able to play with other people without being dismissed or laughed by others. Subsequently, he played in the high school league. At that time, he thought that he must play professional league. Of course, he never thought that he could enter the NBA so soon. He doesn't even have any confidence in CBA! Later, under Fu Yao's arrangement, he entered. At this time, he was thinking about gaining a foothold in the team, getting opportunities, attracting scouts' attention, and preparing for entering the NBA. Later he came to Oklahoma, won the three-pointer, best rookie, best sixth man, this season was selected to the All-Star, reached the finals.
No one asked him to do these things, and he didn't know he could do these things at first. But that's how he got here step by step.
He wants to win the championship, wants to win the FMVP, wants to be a hero of a city. Want to be a famous player in the history of this league.
"I'm already ready!"
When a reporter asked Anluo about his idea of having a chance to win a championship in the second year of his career, he was quite confident. At that moment, An Luo felt that he didn't need to be humble anymore!
"From the moment I was selected by this city two years ago, I was ready to do this. The championship has a special meaning for every NBA player. This means that we are the most A good team is the strongest team. I am very happy to be one of them! Of course, it seems that the game is not over yet. But for me, this finals is over from the beginning! Because we are the strongest team this season."
